> [@Glenduil](#): > > I’ve seen gankers taunting miners way too often to ever feel sorry for them because they just lost their ships to Concord That’s really unfair. So just because once upon a time you saw a ganker bully a miner once, now you think it’s ok to just laugh when someone else has misfortune? Have you ever thought about what it’s like to be a ganker and see a tanky Skiff in an 0.9? At long last, have some basic human empathy. ---

Calm down, ganker. And youre still trying to taunt me for flying a skiff. I was very happy with that ship. Nothing but fond memories. Memories of your goons getting blasted by Concord in a 0.7 ice field with my shields at 50%. Good times! Great fireworks that day! ---

You taunted. You proved my point. No sympathy. Oh feel free to keep telling people all about the Skiff i used to fly. I love hearing you tell stories about me 🙂 I wonder why, though, you keep leaving out the two times you came in with your ganking squads and refused to attack. 0.7 ice field. Are you saying the great and powerful feared queen of high sec couldn’t take down a 150,000 EHP Skiff? You knew I always mined there in Brapelille 🙂 ---

So you needed longer than a month of prep time? You knew I was there for at least that long. My shield skills weren’t even level 5 yet. Guess it’s true. High sec just isn’t dangerous anymore. Well… unless you’re facing diamond rats while mining in a 0.5. That gets pretty scary at times. Can’t always get away to grab your combat ship. ---

So yes you feel that buying something replaceable with fun money and then letting it get destroyed is grounds for sympathy But a loss of hard work isnt. Glad thats clear. I see you were raised to know the cost of something but not its value. ---

If you look on killboard you will see examples such as… 1.2 _million_ EHP Kronos taken down by 26 Catalysts 284K EHP Obeslisk taken down by 25 Catalysts 220K EHP Providence taken down by 20 Catalysts You brag about your 700K EHP Hauler…yet I sit right outside Jita for extended periods in full range of Tornadoes and Catalysts and such, not in some remote belt miles from nowhere that nobody else ever visits but right in the thick of it, sometimes in ships with as little as 40K EHP. ---

Yeah but that kind of gank requires a large group of people. One person can’t do that. That’s why those groups are not common. They used to be, but that was when Eve had a larger player base. Large groups require planning between like-minded people. Of course, there are the illegal multibox groups. I’ve seen a group of 12 marauders a couple of times. But, not only is that illegal, but it’s quite expensive. A group like that against a single ship would be an absolute waste. And I wasn’t talking about Jita space. There is no ice belt in Jita space. I was in Brapelille at the time. It’s 18 jumps away from Jita. I was there for several months and I witnessed several ganking fleets. None of them were larger that 7 ships because roving ganking fleets don’t normally contain the 20 to 40 talos ships that you continuously talk about. Most often, all you see are enough Catalysts to take out a Hulk or an untanked Orca. I’m very rarely ever in Jita space. With the new PLEX market features, I have even less of a reason to go there. All I need to worry about are diamond rats and maybe the very very occasional roving gang fleet that are even more rarely bigger than a few small ships. Shield tanking is only part of a good defence. Staying away from Jita and staying in a quiet area of New Eden is the rest of it.
